    Great food and quantity at a really nominal price for LA standards. Must visit. Note: Limited seating space and only street parking.

    Carne asada was so good and the buche was s tier. Pastor, lengua and cabeza were solid. Tacos were really good, wet burrito was overwhelming (in a good way)… good salsa esp the kick in the red salsa. Horchata was legit too See menu for pricing - a little high but as expected for this area. And food was gooood.

    The tacos are small and delicious. Nothing fancy, just really good meat and traditional toppings. The quesadilla was to die for, it's a different version than I've ever had, but it was amazing. Try a little of everything, you wont very disappointed!!!

    Slowly cooked and served fast! This place is really good. I've tried a few different tacos here and none of them have disappointed. Definitely try their lengua - if you don't like it here you probably won't like it anywhere. There's street parking all around and they have a few tables to sit at if you want to eat it here. Salsas are good but they only have 2 - a red and a green. They also have some peppers that are really good

    The best tacos in the area! The tortillas are slapped on the grill too and gives the tacos that much more taste! The meat is always juicey and full of taste, and the salsas are always fresh and perfect! Most attentive staff too! Been coming here for over 25 years!

    This is an incredibly delicious hole-in-the-wall type place. Local favorite by the sounds of it from folks nearby and a place that lives up to that reputation. Not the mention, the prices are great! Easily some of the best burritos in the greater Los Angeles area. You can never go wrong with thier regular burrito (I like to add cheese) with an imported bottled coke!

    Great and very tasty. There are some outdoor seats and tables covered by a roof so it’s perfectly convenient to properly dine in.

    I shouldn't tell you all about this because it's already getting too crowded. But they are nice people that know there way around a cocina! I love the Fish tacos, but I get only one...They're very big! My wife prefers one of each, she's a little picky. Awesome spot.

    Want a fast cheap and easy choice for your tacos or burritos? Taco Azteca is the place! They've been around for 30 years. Choose your meat base, including fish and at $2.75 a taco it won't break your wallet. Their red and green salsas are the finishing touch for a perfect meal. Some tables outside but ideal for on the go. Highly recommended!
